Teaching Next Generation Science In-Person Workshops


At BSCS, we get to work with the most amazing science teachers in the US. Teachers like you are determined to make science class an engaging and meaningful experience for their students.

We’re here to support you!

What could next generation science teaching and learning look like in your classroom? Join us for an immersive two-day workshop to explore this together.

Upcoming Workshops

Each two-day workshop is designed for a specific grade band, targets particular science and engineering practices and cross-cutting concepts, and highlights an energy-focused or earth science-focused phenomenon. Teachers and leaders are welcome to participate. All of these workshops take place at BSCS HQ in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Meet our BSCS leaders!
